Third to Nome for Iditarod 2015, Aaron Burmeister was greeted by friends, family, and the Nome St. Lawrence Island Singers and Dancers. “The dogs performed phenomenal…I’m just honored to be the guy that was on the runners this year driving them to Nome.”

The brothers have been traveling as a duo since Tanana, where Lance Mackey’s hands first gave him trouble in the sub-zero temperatures. But Jason Mackey says he isn’t doing his brother any favors — he’s just lucky to be learning from an Iditarod legend.

Technical Difficulties

Due to ongoing issues with our transmitter site, KNOM listeners in some parts of Western Alaska may experience weak, intermittent reception or static with our AM signal (780 AM). Despite technical challenges that have surpassed our initial expectations, we're doing all we can to pursue a solution both quickly and responsibly. Thank you for your continued patience!
